About this map

Careywood and the nearby community of Granite anchor this portion of Bonner County, where the southern reaches of the Selkirk Mountains meet a complex network of glacial lakes. The settlement pattern follows the corridor of Highway 95, with a distinct concentration of named mountain roads like Black Pine Mountain Rd and Huckleberry Mountain Rd carving into the higher elevations.

Surface water is a defining characteristic of the landscape, ranging from larger bodies like Kelso Lake and Granite Lake to the smaller Beaver Lake and Lambertson Lake. These lakes, along with watercourses like Cocolalla Cr and Hoodoo Cr, suggest a history of local recreation and agriculture. At the base of Huckleberry Mtn, the presence of Topes Pit indicates the area's continued reliance on local geological resources for infrastructure and industry.
